Day 273 - September 29th


A peculiar thing happened this afternoon! 

Lara and I were sitting in the living room when we heard a thud and saw a shower of white feathers come down in front of the patio doors. We then notice a small bird of prey (a hawk? a kestrel?) near the little fir tree beside the patio doors. It stayed for a few seconds then flew away. We went outside to have a look and on the outside of one of the bedroom windows was the imprint of a bird and head first in the fir tree was a dead pigeon. We can only assume that either the bird of prey was chasing the pigeon and the pigeon flew into the window (as has happened before) killing it outright or the bird of prey had already caught the pigeon and it flew into the window and dropped the pigeon. 

It was all very strange!
